Aukett Swanke is an international practice of architects and interior design specialists who design and deliver commercial projects throughout Europe, the Middle East and Russia. The UK studio is based in London and has a portfolio stretching back 60 years, with a particular strength in office design for which it has won many awards including a 2013 British Council of Offices award.

Each building the practice designs is unique to its environment and owner, and each one is a progression of the innovation the studio has continued to explore throughout its long history. For the architects, it’s important that the users of the buildings – the tenants, neighbours and visitors – should understand the architecture and enjoy the experience.
